What does a Clinician Scientist do?
A Clinician Scientist is a young physician who actively pursues a structured academic pathway. The Clinician Scientist program is aimed at physicians who have completed their first years of training as a specialist at a university hospital and who can demonstrate a documented scientific interest. The training will be provided in university hospitals with strong research capabilities and a sufficient level of interdisciplinarity and research infrastructure.

How can I become a Clinician Scientist?
If you are young physician in specialist training, ask yourself whether you would see yourself doing research for a certain period instead of practicing. Do you already have scientific experience? Talk to your clinical mentor about your scientific interests and ask for advice. Together you can identify a suitable scientific topic for you.
If you want to become a Clinician Scientist in Dresden, you could also contact the Dresden School of Clinical Science for support.
